After reading some of Chucks posts I was wondering if he`ll be riding today. Lord please tell me not! Dosnt look like I`ll be riding any this week. Guess I`ll make good of it and do some tender loving care to her ( the Bike) .

 

He will ride. He rides every day.

 

Mike, you need to listen to Keith, I ride EVERY DAY
even last Thursday in the snow,sleet,ice and rain
storm I rode. Today is a wonderful day for a ride
and yes I rode to work!

Remember one thing my friend, I was born and raised
in Canada. I rode as much as 100,000 miles a year in
Canada which is a bunch of miles considering 5 months
is WINTER! I rode to work every day all year round, even
at 45 below zero and having to use a Coleman stove
under the engine to warm the oil enough to start the
engine. Once at work I would park my motorcycle inside
the warm shop all day so it would start to go home at
night! I used chains wraped around the tires and wheels
through the spokes for traction on the ice and snow on
the roads!

Anything we get down here is a cake walk compared to
Canada....LOL"

 

 

Lots of people stare at you sitting at a traffic light in
rush hour traffic at 45 below zero with 6 inchs of ice
on the road and snow blowing all around you on your
motorcycle! LOL"

I never could figure out what they were staring at,
because they never give a second look to guys riding
snowmobiles in the same weather!

10 years in SC./NC. and I know what you mean about
drivers here!!!!!!

if your wife will ride at 30 degrees or less like my wife
will, we need to hook up for a ride! LOL"

 

I`d asked her to ride but I know what she would say, go ahead Stupid, You crazy, I`ll be here when you get back etc.. You ride quitea bit, I saw where you rode 600 Sunday, how about I start posting how long its been since I got to ride, been 3 weeks lol and from what I see its gonna be 4 LOL.....

 

On what we call short day rides we ride 400 miles, we
call an average day ride between 500 & 700 miles and
we call 1,000+ mile day rides long day rides!

We ride to Maggie Valley for breakfast on a Saturday
morning sometimes when we have other things we
need to do down here on Saturday afternoon, that is
a 450+ mile round trip in the morning. We leave
about 3AM and back around noon/1PM.

Look at the bright side of not getting to ride much, you
don't have to mount up 6+ sets of tires a year,do countless
oil changes,replace a bunch of wear parts and buy all the
gas I do every year.......LOL"

 

Well there is that.. And the fact that you don't have to deal with countless people you don't know thinking you're a motorcycle heretic/fanatic/zealot from the world wide interweb!

Just kidding with ya buddy!

Just so you all know, I'm coming up to Carolina next week on Tuesday and bringing some Florida weather with me. Get out and ride!
